{{subst:requested move|List of books by or about Hillary Clinton|reason=Primarily [[WP:COMMONNAME]], [[WP:CONCISE]], [[WP:SHORTFORM]].
- First, the current title is nine words and fourteen syllables. It can be reduced to eight words and twelve syllables by taking out one word that readers are rarely, if ever, going to type in when looking for such a list, since more than nine times out of ten, a person searching for anything about its subject is going to type "Hillary Clinton." (This is actually a question independent of the name of the article on the subject, because that is still only a three word title.) As per the examples at WP:SHORTFORM, it is common for this reason to use a shorter form of the original title for subtopic titles. Probably the most comparable examples here would be: Madonna (entertainer), but Madonna bibliography, not Madonna (entertainer) bibliography, and Brandy Norwood, but Brandy discography and List of songs recorded by Brandy, not Brandy Norwood discography or List of songs recorded by Brandy Norwood.
- Second, although Google Trends does not have enough information to generate comparisons for the phrases "books by Hillary Clinton" versus "books by Hillary Rodham Clinton" or "books about Hillary Clinton" versus "books about Hillary Rodham Clinton," it does provide the following numbers for "Hillary Clinton books" versus "Hillary Rodham Clinton books," which shows that the common search term for such a list of books would use "Hillary Clinton," by an average ratio of about 60 to 1:

- Third, by way of comparison, several notable websites that have freestanding lists of books in some way related to Hillary Clinton leave out "Rodham" in their names. For example, the National First Ladies Library titles their page Bibliography: Clinton, Hillary, Goodreads website has a "shelf" of books by and about Clinton titled Popular Hillary Clinton Books, Oprah Winfrey's O Magazine has an online feature called Hillary Clinton's Bookshelf (a list of books recommended by Clinton), and the Notable Names Database (NNDB) has a Hillary Clinton: Bibliography. There is not a single reliable source anywhere (or any source at all other than Wikipedia and Wikipedia mirrors) that uses the specific title "List of books by or about Hillary Rodham Clinton."
- Fourth, Hillary Clinton is to date most notable for her 2008 presidential campaign, which she carried out under the name "Hillary Clinton," and for which the relevant articles are titled Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2008 and Hillary Clinton presidential primary campaign, 2008. This topic is covered in a good many of the books listed, such as the liberal The Case for Hillary Clinton, the conservative Liberal Fascism: The Totalitarian Temptation from Mussolini to Hillary Clinton, and the "neutral" Almost Madam President: Why Hillary Clinton 'Won' in 2008. Moving this page will therefore make this title more inclusive and more consistent with the articles on Clinton's most notable activity, her presidential campaign.}}
